Football Great news: NFL loosens rules on celebration - Page 2

RunKC · 05-23-2017, 10:57 AM

Finally the no fun league is becoming fun again.

Quote:

Goodell is reportedly expected to inform the league’s owners that players can now do a number of things they could not previously do without incurring penalties.

Among the allowed moves are group celebrations, the use of the football as a prop (as opposed to a simple spike), falling to the ground, and when applicable, making snow angels, according to Pelissero.

I want to see someone get penalized for a lack of snow during their snow angel celebration.

You won't like it if it's Talib.

Seriously, it's going to be a ****ing blast out there now. Those boys...just playing and horsing around. Jokes. Friendships. So much fun.

I would like for them to nix the gameday inactives and let the whole 53 dress for games. Probably never happen though.

sadly, every time Talib reads a book, a child is cured of cancer.

there's no hope for those kids.

Don't think it will go into effect this year but they are also talking about allowing players with concussions to not count against the 53 man roster total. That is a good idea as it will take some of the pressure off of the players and teams to have them continue to play or have a wasted roster spot for a few weeks.

BUT THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!

Oh, man. I just realized the Broncos' strategy in drafting Bolles. It'll be impossible to label him with a concussion since he can't pass the protocol even when healthy.

The most interesting rule to watch might be the OT rule. Making both teams get a possession if you only get a FG has seemingly increased ties. You'd think shortening OT would make it even worse.

You could also get a situation where one team goes on a 7+ minute drive and kicks a FG. Almost puts the other team in a 2 minute drill situation from the start. Is that fair? You definitely want the ball first and the ability to milk the clock.

I'd have rather seen a scenario where each team gets 1 possession and thats it.

You should see plenty of those in training camp when he is lined up against Pickston.

They also need to eliminate the practice squad and expand the roster instead, plus eliminate the gameday inactives. That way you can get your development players some experience during blowouts or whatever.

Wow they seriously have to cite specific examples of allowable celebrations?

How about this... If you're not delaying the game, not doing anything obscene, and not blatantly taunting someone else... It's fair game.

And taunting is a much bigger concern. Enforcing a penalty after a td is annoying. Enforcing a penalty on a play affects games. This is much ado about nothing until they relax the silly rules on taunting.
